Synopsis

""The Man of Mode or Sir Fopling Flutter"" is a comedy play written by George Etherege and first performed at the Duke's Theater in 1676. The play is set in Restoration London and follows the exploits of Dorimant, a notorious womanizer and fashion icon, as he navigates his way through high society. Along the way, he becomes entangled in a love triangle between two women, Harriet and Mrs. Loveit, and must use all of his wit and charm to keep them both interested. Meanwhile, Sir Fopling Flutter, a ridiculous dandy, provides plenty of comic relief with his over-the-top antics and absurd fashion choices.
